Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.
I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.
That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.
I know, I know! [raises✋]
Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

There have been some very bad developments today.
It is immoral and defies God when we say we are not using rules of engagement, or we will show no mercy.
Our enemies hear this too and will do likewise to us.
God help anyone who might get captured.
New genre not so much. Read @hntdove.bsky.social (Phd in history, Hugo award), for example the World War tetralogy.
Iran is 2.5 times the size of Texas and has twice as many people as CA. It is larger than the Confederacy. Alexander the Great (2500 years ago) asked for unconditional surrender and it broke into satrapies until conquered one by one. Trump doesn't know what he has unleashed.
Never Twitter
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?

Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Large black cat curled up fast asleep on a furry blanket between the legs of an old woman in a bed.
Guess I am not going anywhere for a while.
Like clockwork.
It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.
It'll be down today too: futures are down over 600 points. Jobs report sucked. Trump demanded "unconditional surrender" from Iran, which is ridiculous. Iran (then Persia) didn't "unconditionally surrender" to Alexander the Great. It broke into satrapies & had to be conquered one by one.
It takes my cat about two weeks to adapt his schedule because he goes by daylight and traffic noise. But since we mostly live life according to the cat's schedules it is a little confusing for a while.

I have just looked up all the words. They refer to a Nintendo game called Splatoon that involves characters that can switch between human and cephlopod. A "backline splatling" is a long-range weapon.
This is a waste of tax payers money.
Yes. And also from grad school, especially business school and law school.
Le Monde of Paris found footage of the kids from some time ago on the green rug of their central prayer room, and footage of rescuers dragging kids bodies off that same rug. I prefer to think it was incompetence, not evil, but it seems like it was a direct hit.
I will provide a hook and some wire if somebody will please hang that hellocobber from the ceiling so all can admire it from afar, and put a nice cat-butt sixedcushion on the Former Hellocobber shelf.
MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Adorable.
I think the World Cup should be relocated to Spain, France, Germany and the UK ⚽️
